Eight people were arrested with smuggled goods in Nhandeara, 509 km from São Paulo, after police inspection. The group came from Paraguay in five cars adapted to transport the goods. More than 1.200 packages of cigarettes, toys and electronics, such as car sounds, speakers, video games, cell phones and cameras, were seized.


The seats of the five cars were removed and the suspension was changed to make the vehicles taller and support the weight of the products without drawing the attention of the inspection. According to the police, the products had Goiânia as their destination.


All the seized material was taken to the Federal Police of São José do Rio Preto.
